TP 4 - Grammar problems ^^

A student in TP 4 classed asked about a number in Practice test 2, section 2 number 1. 
You will find the explanation in Unit 7, on page 131, about reduced clauses.

The sentence :

After Diamond, Corundum is the hardest substance formed in either crystals or grainy form.

[this reduced clause has passive meaning, with the past participle formed]


Is reduced from this sentence :

After Diamond, Corundum is the hardest substance that is formed in either crystals or grainy form.


Another problem is about the use of despite of, in spite of etc...

Please click HERE and scroll down to read about it.
Or you can also open your TP 4 book to page 107 and read about the Adverb Clause of Contrast [Concessive].

iBT prep - The use of "Hence"

Dear students in class B, here is the use of the word "hence" that you wanted to know :

The adverb hence has a few meanings, including (1) for this reason, (2) from this source, (3) from now, (4) from that time, and (5) from this place.

Examples

In these examples, hence is synonymous with therefore:

It’s that India has an airline that is run by politicians and hence can be milked by various interest groups.

In these sentences, hence means from this source:

Neither of these policies are popular, hence the temptation to resort to printing money to pay its bills.

They get married next month, hence the new lot of stepchildren.

And here, hence means from now or from that time:

Should Britain end up out of the union, some years hence, historians may look back at two events of the present. 

But five centuries hence, are the roles about to be reversed?

"Hence" is a synonym of "therefore", "consequently", "because of that", etc, and being a conjunctive adverb that connects a main clause and a subordinate one, it should appear within the subordinate:

I'm not feeling well; hence, I'm unable to work.
